The belfry of Dunkirk is a French monument of xv th century historic monument since 1840. The belfry is also listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site by the Belfries of Belgium and France since 2005. It was built around 1440 in place of an old watchtower.
The 58-meter high tower is built of brick in the Gothic style . It is originally attached to the church of St. Eloi and serves as a steeple . In 1558, the French led by the Marshal of Thermes invade the city and burn the church. Only the tower remains. The rebuilding of the church began around 1560 under the direction of the masterpiece Jean de Renneville but, for lack of means, the work was interrupted in 1585. The old tower, separated from the new church by a part of the ruins from the first church, remains isolated and serves as both a belfry, a municipal belfry, and bitter. The original project will never be finished.
In 1782 , the belfry is definitely separated from the church by a street. In 1835 , his coronation was modified. After the First World War , April 15, 1923 , the base was modified so that it received a cenotaph in memory of the dead of the Great War, directed by Pierre Fritel .
The Belfry still serves as a bell tower and currently houses a carillon of 48 bells dating from 1962 : the drone Jean Bart weighs 5 tons . This chime is still used today and can be visited. The carillon is reached by a narrow spiral staircase, which leads to the top of the belfry, offering a panoramic view of the city of Dunkirk .

The Saint-Eloi Church , nicknamed the Cathedral of Sands , is a Catholic church located in Dunkirk , France . It is classified as a historical monument in 1916, while the belfry facing it, former tower of the early church, has been listed since 1840. The belfry is also listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site under the belfries of Belgium and France.
The church is located in the French department of the North , in the municipality of Dunkerque. The origins of the church of Saint-Eloi back to the middle of the xv th century. It was erected by Ghent builders on the grounds of the hospice Saint-Jean. In 1558, the French led by the Marshal of Thermes invade the city and burn the church. Only the tower remains. The rebuilding of the church began around 1560 under the direction of master Jean de Renneville.
The sanctuary is enlarged to the east, the main nave raised, the aisles rebuilt with chapels, but, for lack of means, the works are interrupted in 1585. The old tower, separated from the new church by a part ruins of the first church, remains isolated and serves as both a belfry, a municipal belfry, and bitter. The original project will never be finished.
In 1731, the space that still separates the unfinished church from the belfry, transformed into a public passage from 1591, gives way to a street. In 1782, extension work was entrusted to the architect Victor Louis by intendant De Calonne to cope with the increase in population. Victor Louis proposes to postpone the exterior walls beyond the foothills of the aisles and to join the side chapels to form two additional naves. Work continues until 1787, the bell tower, added in 1610, is demolished and a new facade, dated 1785, is built.
In 1882, the facade of the church, whose stone disintegrates, is demolished and a new facade is put in competition. The project of the architect Adolphe Van Moë , neogothic style, is retained. The first stone was laid on April 11, 1887 and the new facade was completed in 1889 by the architect of the city Jules Lecocq .
During the First World War, the church was heavily damaged in 1915 and 1917. After a long restoration funded by war damage, it was reopened. But in May and June 1940, the church is hit by incendiary bombs, only the walls remain. After a new restoration, the church was returned to worship in 1977, work continuing until 1985.
Much of the furniture prior to 1940 was destroyed, the church enjoys the support of the church Saint-Jean-Baptiste of the xviii th and xix th centuries. The windows of the choir and those of the large rose window were made by Pierre Gaudin , master glassmaker. The others are the master glassmaker Henry Lhotellier on cartons of the painter Arthur Van Hecke .
